The global geofoam market was valued at USD 741.1 million in 2023 and is predicted to register a CAGR of over 6.3% between 2024 and 2032, driven by the increasing demand for lightweight and durable construction materials in infrastructure projects. As global urbanization accelerates, particularly in emerging economies, the necessity for stable, high-load-bearing materials such as geofoam is becoming more pronounced. The material's lightweight nature facilitates efficient transportation and reduces structural load, making it an optimal choice for various applications, including road embankments, airport runways, and slope stabilization projects where soil stabilization is paramount.
According to the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Industry Alliance, geofoam can reduce the dead load on structures by up to 100 times compared to traditional earth materials, significantly enhancing the stability and longevity of infrastructure projects. The alliance reports that geofoam usage in North American construction projects has increased by 15% annually over the past five years, underscoring its growing importance in the industry.
